Hi there

I had been running this image for a while but turned it off for a month or so. When I've come back to using it again I am now seeing the following:

I'm running this on my synology x86, with docker version 20.10.3. I have tried to enter the container but it crashes out before I can attempt to do the steps mentioned in this discussion:

#481

I have tried this against my old volumes, and new volumes. I have also ensured that it is the latest docker image with a docker pull. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey @mike-jewell, typically when it fails to find the server executable its because it could not download the executable on launch. Does your synology have internet access? and is that access shared with containers it spins up?

Thanks for getting back to me.

Yes it has internet access. I removed the image completely and repulled it. I tried a different docker image for valheim (lloesche/valheim-server) and this worked, logs showing that the download is occuring for this one.

I had issues updating Valheim to the current version (got a version mismatch error on connect), and manually deleted 'valheim.x86_64' to try and force a reinstall. This plan failed, with the output below.

It seems verification of game files isn't triggered correctly.

Running 'odin install' won't work because the docker container restarts after failing to find the executable.

I'm currently downloading the server with a steamcmd docker, and plan to copy over the files. Just wanted to let you know about this issue.
